Well interesting thread….
To all the analyst’s and name hurlers etc. If you got a mirror you can start there. I have not hurled a single name or analysis at anyone here. I have been factual and blunt. Which I can see why you might be offended by that and if I so I am sorry you are or were offended.
I tend to be blunt that is my personality I dig up the facts and present the solutions in truth. I have very little tolerance for things that are not based in facts. If you believe something that is not based in fact and discuss it with me I will tell you if you are wrong. I guess that is just me.
Now my position concerning color and separations, like it or not we as an industry have suffered serious issues in the color arena and as a result there is allot of misunderstanding and very bad information floating around. Because of that things like Simulated Process are far more difficult than they ever should have been.
Let’s look at the typical sim process work flow.. Which by the way is very little separation and lots of color correction.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Oy_GZlxtHgThis workflow is more color correction than color separation. All the tone curving and masking etc is a night mare work flow. Which is why only a few can handle it. And with all of the human judgment calls no wonder it has been such a problem.
Why is that what happened to the color?
This is color separation I correct nothing in this simple separation process.
However had my colors been pushed around I would have had to do allot of correction. There is a huge difference between color correction and color separation.
I have not referred to my products in this thread I am not trying to push anything except the fact that we as an industry need a color correction. A correction that will open up separation to the masses in the correct color space and color model for screen printing.
When it comes to you my friends, your lives, your work and the labor with which you feed your children I am as serious as a heart attack.
Case in point CorelDRAW X5 was a POS I refused to endorse it… That cost me believe me.

I am still amazed…
It is just working with the correct tools in the correct color spaces and color models.
We are going to take all this allot deeper and deeper we go the easier it is going to get.
If you hate me for being me I have no problem with that. But don’t hate message because we need it. Because we all need to be color pros and get the best color prints we can out the door. Every print that goes out of your shop is an advertisement for you. If your clients have the best and most colorful t-shirts that speaks for you and your business.
Again if I offended you I am sorry.
